What are the three Japanese Scripts?

Hiragana is a syllabary, meaning that each character represents a syllable. There are 46 hiragana characters, and they are used to write words that do not have a corresponding kanji character, such as particles and conjunctions.

Katakana is also a syllabary, and it is used to write foreign words, loanwords, and onomatopoeia. There are 46 katakana characters, and they are similar in shape to hiragana characters, but they have different pronunciations.

Kanji is a system of writing that uses Chinese characters. There are thousands of kanji characters, and they can each have multiple meanings and pronunciations. Kanji are used to write the majority of words in Japanese.
